NOLA Sneakerheads Pickups & Info ALA,MS,TEX Welcome

[mints]

hey, i will be in new orleans from july on any recommendations regarding sneakerstores? coulda bring tiffs in 11 or 9.5 with me to swap for size 12 or mighty crowns in 12, anybody interested (patient people )? as a last resort i would be willing to sell them either...
and any recommendations regarding cheap flats?

When in July are you getting here, you won't find anything cheap that first week because of Essence Festival, but the city will be hopping that weekend with all kinds of side shows going on at clubs all around town. After that though it should be pretty cheap since the city tends to die down in the summer, conventions are hesitant to book then because of hurricane fears, and let's be honest, it's pretty miserable in this city between June-September.

It's already been said that you're not going to have many options to buy in the city: Sports Plus, Politics (and frankly I don't buy from the NOLA location all that much), 2 HoH options. If you'll have access to a car and you're in town for more than a few days I'd suggest driving to Lafayette for at least one weekend, good people, great food and the original Politics location is a lot better than the one here.

I have this feeling that we're just going to go from the current 60s-70s straight into 90 degree weather with no warning. I'll be back to 3 showers per day by June.

These just in...

 

[mints]

Those 6 look really nice, how's the midsole on them? I'd be afraid of crumbling if they're DS.

biiggtone I pass through GP, but rarely stop there for anything. It's been a while since I've been down that way though, pretty much ever since we got our dogs my GF and I have been relatively homebodies not leaving them alone for more than a few hours at a time.

Slight separation as seen from the pics, but not much crumbling, I can press my finger on the midsole and not have to worry about a finger print being left. Should be able to get a couple of hours of wear out of these on my senior trip. Anyways do you guys know of any close restorations in the city, or do any of you guys know how to fix sole separation, and paint the chipping paint? Willing to pay.

Unless you're looking for brand new SBs be prepared to travel or order from the internet. Barely anybody sells dunks in town any more.
